NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-ISpecial Telegram to

worked higher. The deal in Richmond 81

The story was that both Norfolk 4 Western
and Richmond ~ West Point people were
trying to secure control of the East Tennessee
road with the object of consolidating with
the latter Richmond & West Point were
very buoyant, advancing before noon 21l per
cent over last nights closing. Insiders were
very reticent in regard to the deal, but gave
out that no definite plan of consolidation had
been agreed on. New England after
lying dormant for several weeks
became active and very strong to-day and
points were cut that it would advance 5 per
cent within the next week. GRANGER stocks
were depressed early in the day by news of
anti-railroad legislation in the northwest
ing that he favored the passage of the inter-
state commerce bill. His attitude OD this i'm
portant question was REGARDED as decidedly
favorable to the bull market in stocks, and
good share of the strength in early dealings
was attributed to his statements in reference
to this bill. The news from Washington was
very meagre, but it was considered certain
that no vote would be taken on the inter
state commerce bill until Friday, and posi-
bly, not until some time next week. Rail-
road earnings, so Tar as reported for the first
week of January, were favorable, showing
encouraging increases in every instance.
At noon the market was duh and steady,
sales agTregatng l45, 200 shares. The report
that the Interstate commerce bill had been
referred to a committee gave the bulls
preteXt to lift prices, and active specialties,
like New England, Richmond & West Point.

that its scheme to secure control OF the East
Tennessee had failed. The market closed

DUBLIN, Jan. 1S.-The cruel evictions

tSigned.) r. HARRINGroN, (M. P),
~, Secretary Irish National League.
The announcements of these hendish acts
OF barbarity, although nothing beyond the

created bitter feeling, and the following
was sent IN reply:
pated, and the executive council of the Irish
American league, with the hearty approval
of the principal Irish American citizens of
Cincinnati, bid you meet il undsmayed ard
conflict.
Signed. JOHN FITZGERALD,
The substance of President Fitzgerald sad
dress 10 the officers and members of the Irish
National League of America is as follows:
The present position of affairs in Ireland de-
mands earnest consideration and renewed
energy upon our parts. The inhumanity.
comprising new plunder and eXtermnat.
ing the Irish people, has forced upon
them the alternative of ruin or
resistance, such as is within their power
to offer. There can be no doubt that the
present plan of campaign" affords the best
practical means so far discovered of render
ing effective the determination of the Irish
people to protect themselves in possession of
their homes. 1t becomes therefore my duty
to thus direct your attention to the new
crisis which has arisen in Ireland and in
doing this l feel that / have done
all that Is necessary to urke you to renewed
zeal and energy in the labor of love which
you have undertaken. | am glad to be able
TO announce to you that the affairs
of the Irish National League of America
are in a most satisfactory and tlourshng
condition and the organization itself
has never been more healthy, Wig
orous and hopeful than at the present
time. The address speaks of what has al
ready been accomplished, compliments the et-
forts of Treasurer OReilly and Secretary
Sutton, and closes with an appeal to the
members of the league to take courage and
proceed with new zeal the task still before
them.

FIRE IN THE wlTHNELL BLOCK.
Disastrous Conflagration Aycrtcd

"A Disastrous Conflagration AyCrtcd
by Efficient Eircmcn.
A IRE taat ut ono time promised to be

which destroyed the Barker block, or
that which badly damaged tho B. Il NJ.

Withnell block at 10 o'clock last night.
When first discovered the flames were
bursting from fourth story window in
the northeast corner of the building An
alarm was turned in TO which hose com.
panics Nos. and 3 responded. When
the fireman reached the fourth story of
the building, the Railways were so filled
with smoke and heat that it was almost
impossible to work A stream of water

found TO be burning the most in room

ana connccted with the studio of
Miss Murray and Architect Sid
ney Smiths office. In a very
few minutes, what promised to be
most stubbrrn blaze was under control
and soon completely cXtnguishcd The
tircmen, under the direction of Assistant
Chief Salter, deserve great credit for
their very efficient work. The origin of

treiy. The rooms are all heated by
steam and no lambs or gas lets were
burning in any of them. The damage
done by fire and water was to the rooms
occupied by Lee, Nichol & Co, Sidney
Smith, Mrs. Shuttle and Miss Murray.
The fire reached only the studio of Mrs.
Shuttle and that of Miss Murray. A
stream of water smashed in the glass
door of N. j, Burnham's law office. but
did no damage. In fighting the fire a
stream of water that was thrown into
the rom of Lee, Nicool 4 Co. broke a
window and flooded IL room in the annex
across the alley. Owing to the careful
work OF the iircmcn but little water was
thrown in the building outside of the
rooms in which the fire was located, and
by promptly sweeping the overflow out
DANCE by water to the rooms below was
avcrtcd. The entire loss will not exceed
$1,000 and Is amply covered by insur-
ancp.

ONE TOUGH LESS,
Willie Morse and Something OF His
Past Record.

S'aSt record.
There has been one good result of
Johnny McClellan's cscapade at Fallon's
road ranch on Tuesday night. Willie ii.
Morse, who was McClclluns partner in
the breaking.up act. has skipped for parts
unknown. The police hope that he will
stay out of the city. He is crook of the
worst type, they clam, and yet they have
been unable TO get him punished. Morse
has quite record in Omaha. He was
arrested here two years ago by CAPTAIN
Cormck for tapping till in Moorc's har-
ness shop and was sentenced to sixty days
in the county Jail. He appealed his case
to the district court and for some reason
or other escaped punishment, as the
case was never called up. Last August
he was arrested as Il suspicious character
by Captain Cormick and paid n fine in
police court. A short time afterwards he
was arrested by Al SiSwart on the charge
OF vagrancy. lie demanded jury trial,
was convicted and sentenced to thirty
days in the county Jail and fined $50 This
case was also appealed to the
district court but like the one first men
toned was never called to trial. in
order to dodge the yagrancy act he
opened up lXG shooting gallery in Nc
Clclland's saloon on Fifteenth street, and
under this cover has been allowed to stay
in the town. Captain Cormick has Sc
cured possession of Il number of letters
that proved Morse's character beyond n
shadow of doubt. The letters were writ.

was in Minneapolis last fall In one of
them Morse tells her that he has sent "A
lot Of silk handkcrchiefs and cloth that
he wants her TO dispose OF in Omaha or
use as best she can. He also states that
twenty new policemen have been added
TO the force and that tine boys" are find
ing it very difficult to "do any work"
and will probably all have TO leave the
city. In letter written by the woman
TO Morse she tells nm of the burglary on
Seventeenth street last fall in which MIR.
Sussenback had a tusSle with burglar
but assures him that the burglar was not
hurt. The letters are in Captain Cor
mick's possession and will be used in
evidence in case Morse is arrested. The
police congratulate themselves that there
is one thug less to deal with.
